Words for the Soul: Living of Love
Shop the Warrior Collection
October brings in its wake not only a new month but a new and much needed season. As we welcome in crisp Autumn with her lovely shades and spirit, we nestle back to our roots. We take time to remember who we are, who we want to be, and why we are here. It is a season of reflection, a time to cherish those we love. We soften our hearts beneath the gentle kiss of fall, and find fresh strength in the promise that love conquers all. The presence of love melts fear and disarms hate; it creates unity, beauty and grace even in the darkest places. It is essential that we continuously and intentionally practice love over and over again â in our words, our actions, our thoughts, the way we see the world. It is preposterously simple, but impossibly difficult. And yet it is of the utmost necessity. Here are some of our favorite quotes on love:
Love is not just something that happens to you: it is a certain special way of being alive.
-Thomas Merton
Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Never miss an opportunity to show your love.
-Paulo Coelho
Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.
-Truman Capote
Without warning as a whirlwind swoops on an oak love shakes my heart.
-Sappho

Each night ask yourself... When did you withhold love when you might have given it?

Of all fires love is the only inexhaustible one.

I have learned not to worry about love but to honor its coming with all my heart.

There isn't any secret formula or method. You learn love by loving.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
